I am currently working on this question and I am at the final step, but I can't seem to get it.
So I have the velocity formula
3t2−(15t/2)+3
I am trying to find the total distance traveled in interval 0<=t<=4
I have already set the velocity equation to zero and I used the quadratic formula and arrived at the answers 1/2 and 2 that make the equation 0.
From there I did |v(0) - v(1/2)| + |v(1/2) - v(2)| + |v(2) - v(4)|
Which I know is not right because I didn't get the answer which is according to my Calculus prof is:
155/8
I am weak in physics so I never really got the grasp of these things. Can someone help me understand how to solve this part?
